Set Up Guide | Floor Scale Introduction THE TSM SERIES WEIGHING PLATFORM The TSM Series Floor Scale weighing platform is a fully electronic, low profile platform, engineered to provide years of reliable service. It is available in wide range of sizes from 24” x 24” to 96” x 120”, and capacities from 1,000 lbs to 20,000 lbs. All platforms are equipped with four, corner mounted NTEP approved loadcells that are recessed into the scale frame for protection.
Set Up Guide | Floor Scale DIGITAL INDICATOR TSM weighing platforms are typically shipped as a complete weighing system which includes a factory calibrated digital indicator. For operation of the scale/digital indicator, please see the User’s Guide that is included with the digital indicator. BE SURE TO UNPACK ALL ITEMS IN THE DIGITAL INDICATOR SHIPPING CARTON. The scale comes factory calibrated with the digital indicator. There is no need to calibrate the scale.
Set Up Guide | Floor Scale Weighing Platform Set Up SITE PREPARATION The scale should not be loaded beyond its capacity. Do not select a site where overweight loads would have to cross the platform. Avoid areas where the scale might receive damaging side impacts from wheels or forklift tines. The interface cable that connects the scale platform to the digital indicator MUST be protected from crushing, cutting, or moisture damage. Protecting the cable with conduit is recommended.

Periodically clean any debris from under and around the scale. If debris such as broken wood from pallets wedges between the scale platform and the ground or a ramp, erratic weights will result. 2. Provide adequate clearance for free platform movement. Make sure a ramp(s) is not touching the scale.
